Description
New Super OMEGACLAD™ XL sheathed
mineral-insulated thermocouple wire,
designated “XL” for ordering, can be used at
ultra-high temperatures for prolonged periods
with very little drift of the base metal
thermocouple. The sheath material uses
Nickel-Chrome based Super OMEGACLAD™
XL sheathing, which provides excellent
oxidation resistance. The sheath can withstand
exposure to combustion gases or air at
temperatures up to 1335°C (2435°F). Superior
resistance to oxidation attack results from a
tenacious and protective high-temperature film
that does not affect the stability of the
thermocouple alloys. This film permits the
sensor to be used at ultra-high temperatures
for prolonged periods with improved accuracy
over other available sheath materials. Super
OMEGACLAD™ XL sheathing also provides
excellent resistance to corrosion in high
temperature chlorine-contaminated oxidizing
environments and ammonia/nitride-rich
environments at temperatures above 980°C
(1800°F), the temperature at which the
protective film forms. See the Related Links section at the bottom of this page for addtional models. |
